Exhibit 99.2
Liberty Broadband Corporation
Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Introduction
On November 12, 2024, Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband” or the “Company”) entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) under which Charter has agreed to acquire the Company (the “Combination”, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). At the special meeting held on February 26, 2025, the requisite holders of Liberty Broadband’s Series A common stock, Series B common stock and Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock approved the adoption of the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Liberty Broadband will combine with Charter and spin-off the business of GCI (the “GCI business”).
As a condition to closing the Combination, Liberty Broadband agreed to spin-off the GCI business by way of a distribution to the holders of Liberty Broadband common stock prior to the closing of the Combination (the “GCI Spin-Off”). The GCI Spin-Off was completed on July 14, 2025. The GCI Spin-Off is expected to be taxable to Liberty Broadband and its stockholders, with Charter bearing the corporate level tax liability upon completion of the Combination. However, to the extent such corporate level tax liability exceeds $420 million, Liberty Broadband (and Charter upon completion of the Combination) will be entitled under a tax receivables agreement to the portion of the tax benefits realized by GCI corresponding to such excess.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared giving effect to the GCI Spin-Off as if it occurred as of March 31, 2025 for the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and January 1, 2024 for the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent what the Company’s financial position actually would have been had the GCI Spin-Off occurred on the dates indicated or to project the Company’s operating results for any future period.
Based on a quantitative analysis, the GCI Spin-Off is expected to represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations. Accordingly, the Company intends to present the GCI Spin-Off as a discontinued operation.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the publicly available information of Liberty Broadband, including the Form 10-K, as filed on February 27, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Form 10-Q, as filed on May 7, 2025 with the SEC.
